Save Money on Local Dining & Give Back to the Community

Support our local businesses while giving to a great cause during the annual Taste of the Beaches! 

We're inviting locals and visitors alike to explore the incredible restaurants, cafés, bakeries, breweries, and hidden gems that make our beach communities a special dining destination.

The celebration begins with our Kickoff Party on Friday, October 2nd where attendees can pick up their tickets, meet participating restaurants, and get a first taste of the week ahead.

Beyond celebrating great food, Taste of the Beaches also supports our local business community and shines a spotlight on the restaurants that keep our beaches thriving year-round.

For just $10 per ticket, you can enjoy deals on fantastic food, support our local businesses and give to a local non-profit! This year, the proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity Tampa Bay Gulfside.

  • Step 1: Pick out a Taste you want to try from this list
  • Step 2: Get a ticket for each Taste you want
  • Step 3: Visit the restaurant from October 3rd - 11th
